Benefits of Closed Loop Process Control
Closed Loop systems are an innovative form of process control. Developed for process-based manufacturing, these systems collect as much data as possible from production runs then use the settings from the most productive runs as suggested starting points for future runs. The following are some of the benefits of a Closed-Loop system:
Highly configurable systems are outpacing canned systems and providing a path for innovation. Advancements in browser based technology are enabling agile deployment strategies.
Manufacturing software helps manufacturers improve production performance by providing visable control and reporting across the enterprise.
Very few companies offer Closed-Loop software. This is due to the fact that such software requires comprehensive shop floor systems. To get the most out of a Closed-Loop system, you need to collect relevant data and process the data from an intelligent system. Pre-fabricated software often fails to allow you to collect your production information in a way that makes sense in your situation. A system built around your goals is the basis for Closed-Loop software. A tailored system offers the most functionality for the price. Look for a system with a model-driven architecture, this will allow for quick configuration while keeping your system perpetually new even as technology changes.
